About Bristol

Bristol is a hilly, harbourside city that runs on independent spirit - Banksy's home turf, a street-art and music scene that never went fully mainstream, and a maritime history still visible in Brunel's SS Great Britain and the Clifton Suspension Bridge overhead. It feels less like one centre and more like a cluster of distinct villages, each with its own character.
